The Dominican Republic journey is proving to be an total good time, until after all you rely the problems between Gizelle and Candiace and Robyn and Wendy…oh and with Karen…there’s some beef there, too.  On this episode of the Real Housewives of Potomac, Gizelle is on the lookout for solutions from Wendy and Candiace and Karen outs the identification of her coach, who isn’t truly a coach in any respect.  Plus, Mia calls Ashley a gold digger and if *that* ain’t the pot calling the kettle black…

Whereas speaking with among the group, Robyn factors out Wendy and Candiace’s snarky faces as Gizelle spoke about her daughter, Grace, attending school in Florida.  It appeared shady. When Wendy walks over and asks, “What have been ya’ll speaking about?” an ungainly silence falls upon the group. Wendy calls for to know what the dialog was about and Robyn explains how she picked up on smirks and faces throughout Gizelle’s dialog.

Wendy is aware of she will’t say something about this as a result of previously, she claims that Gizelle has weaponized Grace towards her.  Wendy refuses to discuss Gizelle’s daughter, however Gizelle is extra shocked at how Karen didn’t shut it down.

As a substitute, Gizelle feels as if she acquired no respect from Karen, since she didn’t inform Wendy that if it needed to do with a child, the dialogue ought to cease. Candiace makes it clear she doesn’t wish to cope with something or anybody that has to do with Gizelle, and that her chuckling has nothing to do together with her youngsters, however extra so as a result of she simply doesn’t wish to hear Gizelle speak.

The topic will get to modified to the Havana Nights occasion that Robyn is internet hosting for Ashley’s birthday this night.  Ashley had been planning this occasion for Potomac, however due to air high quality points, she needed to cancel.  It looks like the DR is the proper place to revive this theme and so the women excuse themselves to prepare.

Gizelle left her pants dwelling for the event and Candiace almost chokes on her snack watching Gizelle twirl about. Ashley arrives in her birthday go well with, which truly has somewhat extra clothes than an everyday birthday go well with, however not that a lot.  As they sit across the dinner desk, Karen is over Robyn and Candiace ignoring the elephant within the room. She wonders if the women can get again to the place they have been of their relationship.

Robyn explains that Candiace thinks she has carried out nothing incorrect to her, however she “slandered” her again and again. Wendy jumps in and claims it isn’t honest to Candiace, however Robyn knocks it down.  Robyn repeatedly mentioned she didn’t assume Chris had unhealthy intentions and may have by no means confirmed her assist if she knew it could get her nowhere. Candiace isn’t certain if she believes the issues that she as soon as mentioned about Robyn, however says it doesn’t matter at this level. Robyn’s sufferer mentality is exhausting to her and it looks like the women won’t ever resolve their points.

Ashley explains that she has celebrated 8 birthdays with this group, and that she is worked up and nervous for this new chapter. She blows out a candle and jumps in a pool, donning her ensemble.  All typical Housewife birthday habits.

The following day, Gizelle has a morning chat with Karen to clear the air concerning the Surry journey. Gizelle believes that Karen turns into a special model of herself round Wendy and Candiace.  As an illustration, when Karen caught up for Candiace and Wendy’s faces, Gizelle was appalled.

Karen continues to say she doesn’t have “sides,” however Gizelle is shocked that Karen didn’t remind the group that youngsters are off the desk. Karen calls herself buddy and tells Gizelle that she is the one with the issue. Karen goes on to say that something she says to Candiace and Wendy, she would say it to Gizelle’s face…which is def not the reality. Gizelle believes that Karen loves her, however simply wants assist.

The group journey of the day is at a fortress, a touristy outing that ends at a restaurant. Karen brings up her exercising once more and hints at her coach, Vernon. Vernon is just not actually a coach, however he certain is straightforward on the eyes, which raises some questions within the group. Ashley mentions that she is aware of Vernon and they’re “buddies,” after which issues get messy as Ashley excuses herself to make use of the lavatory. When she returns, Ashley explains that they’ve flirted, however nothing has truly transpired between the 2 of them…minus chatting on Instagram. Karen appears to be like jealous!

As a result of what’s a present with out stirring the pot, Karen declares Gizelle introduced it to her consideration that when she is with others within the group, Karen apparently acts in another way.  The others calls BS on this as a result of Karen has no downside letting folks know that they’re being impolite. Wendy states that Karen is just holding the group accountable. Wendy additionally makes it clear that she is just not the identical sort of buddy with Gizelle anymore, so no group therapeutic progress was achieved by any means.

Karen and Candiace head over to the tennis courtroom (within the 94-degree warmth) and Wendy, Mia, and her stilettos be a part of them.  Within the meantime, Gizelle, Keiarna, Ashley, Robyn and Nneka do some skeet taking pictures. Keiarna thanks Robyn for the invite and is having fun with attending to know the women. They discover out that Wendy by no means outwardly informed Keirarna she by no means favored Gizelle, however that Wendy was extra targeted on the problems between her and Nneka.

Keiarna talks about making an attempt to determine the cultural significance of what Wendy mentioned and tells Nneka that Wendy was the one who felt offended.  Nneka warns Keiarna to not stir a pot “that’s already piping sizzling.” Nneka warns Keiarna and tells her we don’t want her further palms in that pot. Translation: she is saying shut up, Keiarna. Gizelle presses Ashley about Vernon, the coach, however Ashley is just not giving a lot information up.

After “enjoying tennis,” a phrase I say loosely cuz actually they only sit on a bench watching Candiace hit a couple of balls, Mia talks about foot fetishes and Wendy says Mia’s “nickname must be Socrates cuz she’s at all times telling a narrative.” After some laughter, Mia’s obsession with Ashley’s divorce surfaces once more. Ashley has shared about her non-existent relationship together with her dad and possibly she looks like she is being deserted by a father determine once more, which is why she is dragging her toes. Karen likens divorce to an amputation of a physique half with none numbing. Mia talks about when she left, she put her child at the back of the automobile and was out. Wendy believes that Ashley needs to divorce…simply not but.

Aspect word: Ashley makes an attempt to FaceTime her boys however when she tells Michael she is filming, he turns the digital camera off. He has made it clear that if he have been introduced on digital camera, he would sue Ashley.

It’s the final dinner within the DR. Robyn did a pleasant job internet hosting, in accordance with Karen, however that’s like the one factor she did nicely. Candiace explains that in tennis, they mentioned Ashley’s divorce. Candiace goes on to say that Mia thinks Ashley’s a gold digger. Mia admits to utilizing that time period and outright says that Ashley married Michael for his cash.  Ashley wonders aloud if Mia did the identical. Mia makes it clear they aren’t speaking about Ashley although, and needs Ashley to be extra trustworthy about herself. Ashley looks like Mia is jealous cuz she THOUGHT she was gold digging, however didn’t get that with Gordon. Ashley states that Michael contributes to her automobile and he gave her a bank card that can be utilized in an emergency. Oh, and so they do have a joint account that must be used for the youngsters.

As a result of they merely can not let it go, the query arises once more: Why is Karen being educated by somebody who is just not a health coach? The women surprise why Karen wouldn’t get a coach who’s linked to coronary heart well being, contemplating her latest points, however Karen needs to be stronger and “work on her inside thighs.” A lightness falls over the group as they make that catchphrase right into a tune and the night ends in laughter.
